# What is Flipped Learning?...

According to the Flipped Learning Network, flipped learning is “a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter.”

In the first video I am impressed by this thought of  the 'Individuality', 'Freedom', 'Passions'.
which are the three sides of triangle. 

Video:2





In second video I am impressed by the answer of Albert Camus on the 2 judgement such as: 

   1. Life is meaningless...
   2. Is there a logic to the point of death / In that           case let's jump off the balcony...

Camus gave answer on these two judgements that,...

"In truth there is no necessary common measure between these two judgements."

He also added that,...

"I cannot know unless I pursue, without reckless passion, in the sole light of evience, the reasoning of  which I am here suggesting the source. This is what I call an absurd reasoning.

In third video I am impressed by the thought of philosophical suicide by Albert Camus.

In fourth video I am impressed by the thought of the Dada movement which make the people who create something are more than rulebreakers or [Dadaism = Absurdity] ( Which is making aware who you are )

Video:5









In fifth video I am impressed these thoughts of choose meaning in your life and become who you are.

# Learning out-come:-

With the help of this flipped learning task my understanding of Existentialism has increased. In the context of education, existentialism suggests that learning is a deeply personal journey, where individuals actively engage with knowledge to construct their understanding of the world. Flipped learning, by shifting the traditional classroom dynamic, empowers students to take ownership of their learning process. It encourages self-directed inquiry, critical thinking, and authentic exploration of subject matter outside of the conventional classroom setting.


> The video I liked the most and why?


The reason I appreciated the 8th video is how it engaged with children, discussing topics that we typically cover in Master's level discussions. It highlighted that existentialism isn't bound by age; this insight resonated deeply with me. Embracing progressive ideas, irrespective of age, paves the way for a promising and adept future. It underscores the importance of integrating such forward-thinking approaches into both education and society, a responsibility that rests not only with educators but also with the youth. Thus, it's imperative for us to actively foster this kind of progressive mindset.


# Questions:-

1. How can we establish a meaningful connection between individual thought and suicide, as discussed in video 2?
(01:03)

2. What does the exact meaning of Albert Camus argue about the concept of 'Leap' as discussed in Video 3?
(2:32)

3. What primary objective does Dadaism aim to achieve, given its emphasis on interrogating societal norms rather than solely producing artistic works? as discussed in video 4.
(1:11)

4. How Can we consider Aristotle as an existentialist? (according to video 7) 
 (07:51)

5. What is the concept of "flash philosophy" in existentialism?  (Video 10) 
(6:02)
